When they finally "pull the trigger" on it, you can be certain that it will be done swiftly and without the buildup they usually have.

If and when they do take anti-gun action, it will come swiftly and without warning. The gears of Congress will have never turned faster. They don't want a fight, they want a guaranteed surgical strike.
That "surgical strike" may come back against them.
Everybody talks big, but the time for that kind of action came and went decades ago.

Besides, it wouldn't change anything. We wouldn't know who needed that until it was already done.

There are clear traitors in our government already. Is anyone getting their hands dirty?

Nope. We're all still too 'reasonable' to do something about it. I ask, what is 'reasonable' about knowingly allowing a traitor to weave his/her craft?

Who's this? The Brady Bunch? lol... Don't make me laugh.

Or maybe you mean Congress itself, that ever-so-potent font of efficacy? :quirky

Paranoid, much?

You act as though no gun control bill has ever been passed before... I must be paranoid to think that something that looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has self-defined itself as a duck for over 100 years, could possibly be a duck...

That doesn't make me paranoid. That makes me awake.

Mark my words, when they spring this one, there will be a vote in the Senate before we even have a copy in our hands to read.

And exactly what political capital do you suppose will be used to achieve such an unprecedented and monumental fait accompli over an issue so few people really care to see accomplished?

I mean, do you honestly believe the average congresscritter really cares about anything other than immediate expediency?

What you're describing would be the work of a group of immensely influential individuals. Perhaps you could show me some Brady Bunchers who aren't a complete political joke by this point?

Democrats are so filled with hatred for guns (and gun owners), they'll gladly cast themselves upon the sacrificial altar of knowing they won't be re-elected, in order to pass any kind of gun ban they can. But they won't do it until the act will be guaranteed to pass, and not be narrowly defeated exposing them and not getting the job done. They learned from the Clinton Ban. But not the lesson you think they learned. These people are sick extremists. They're only a few baby steps away from suicide bombings themselves.

You seem to imagine a world in which their kind is not what it is. I can't 'prove' reality to you if you choose not to see it for yourself... They hold serious majorities in both houses. They can see a loss of position coming already. If they get the chance to guarantee a pass, they will take it so fast your head will spin. Deal them out in the next election, it won't matter. The damage will be done.

I'm not falling for any of their "stick your head in the sand, we promise it's safe not to watch us" propaganda. The Brady Bunch have never had much, if any, influence to begin with. The politicians themselves are more interested in it than anyone in the anti-gun lobby. It's a personal vendetta against those people (us) that they see as their enemy. The ones who dare defy them.

If all the Democrats really thought that way about a gun ban, then we would already have one. There are enough anti-gun republicans to pass gun control when combined with a solid democratic block.

But enough of "them" are "us" so it just ain't gonna happen that way.


PS From a "sick extremist:" Boogada boogada boo!

This must be satire.

They've done it before. Go ahead and put out your own eyes just to have an argument... Any further response cannot be productive.
